Certainly. The businesscard image has 3.0.0-2-486 and it is 3.1.0-1-486
now.
I generally delete old images in a quest for tidiness but happen still
to have netinst ones for 21st and 24th Nov. Both have kernels
3.1.0-1-486. The first one gives a working DHCP setup; the second one
doesn't.
Normally, I assume something going wrong is due to my misunderstandings,
but I'm intrigued as to what is going on here.
